Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!

My project today is a long skinny gift box that holes nail files inside.  You could also put a pretty pen or some kisses inside too.  It measures  7 1/4  x  1  x  3/4".  I used Flowering Tulips stamp set, the Tulips dies, All That dies and the Gingham Embossing Folder.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Soft Seafoam Cardstock sized

9 3/4  x  4".

I scored the  9 3/4" side at:

1/2,  1 1/4,  8 1/2  and  9 1/4".

I scored the  4" side at:

1/2,  1 1/2,  2 1/4  and  3 1/4".

I rounded the corners of the flaps with a corner rounder.

To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.

I cut a piece of Soft Saffron Cardstock to  7/8  x  7 1/8".

I put the Cardstock into the Gingham Embossing Folder on a diagonal in order to fit it completely inside.

I attached the embossed Cardstock to the top of the box with Liquid Glue.

I cut 3 Tulips from Very Vanilla Cardstock, 4 leaves from Soft Seafoam Cardstock and 2 of the thin stems from Soft Seafoam Cardstock using the Tulips dies.

I inked the top edges of the Tulips with Polished Pink Ink.

I inked all around the edges of the leaves with Soft Seafoam Ink.

I cut each stem into 2 equal lengths.

I attached the top Tulip first, then stuck a stem piece under the edge with Liquid Glue.

Next I attached the leaves and continued this process down the box adding 2 stems below the bottom Tulip.

I tied a double bow with Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and attached it to the bottom of the lowest Tulip with Liquid Glue.

I cut an Oval Label from Very Vanilla Cardstock using the All That dies.

I stamped the sentiment, from Flowering Tulips stamp set, onto the label with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I punched a small hole in the left side of the Oval and looped some White Baker's Twine through.

I tied the label around the Crinkled Seam Binding and tied a bow at the top.

For the final touch I added an Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel to each Tulip.

I attached the stamped DSP to the front of the box with Liquid Glue.  I attached another piece, the same size, to the back of the box.

I cut a label from Real Red Cardstock using the Stylish Shapes dies.  I stamped the sentiment, from Flowering Tulips stamp set, onto the label with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I punched two holes in the top of the box with a small hole punch.

I put Black and White Gingham Ribbon through the holes.

I punched a small hole in the edge of the label and added it to the left side of the ribbon, then tied a bow.
